Since that time, the Statement of Investment Policy has been reviewed and amended when appropriate to keep up with changes in State law or for operating efficiencies and effectiveness. The City Council last conducted its annual review and approval of the Investment Policy on May 23, 2023 for the 2023-24 Fiscal Year (Resolution 2023-057).
The Statement of Investment Policy was reviewed by Meeder Public Funds. The proposed changes recommended are marked on the draft policy. The following are highlighted changes:
· On page 3, changing the investment advisor company name from FHN Financial Main Street Advisors to Meeder Public Funds.
· On page 7, removing the following language so that there is not a requirement to force the City to sell investment bonds to stay in compliance: “In the event the City’s maturity requirements fall out of compliance due to cash outflows, an analysis of the portfolio will be performed to determine if the portfolio’s maturity requirements will return naturally with time or if bonds need to be sold prior to maturity. “
FISCAL ANALYSIS
The proposed action establishes policy and does not have a direct fiscal impact on the City.

CITY OF SAN RAMON
STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY
Fiscal Year 2023-24
Purpose
This statement implements §53646 of the Government Code, of the State of California, by providing a Statement of Investment Policy. It is intended to provide sound procedures for the prudent investment and management of public funds of the City of San Ramon. Consistent with provisions of this code section, this policy shall be annually reviewed and adopted by the City Council.

General Fund
Special Revenue Funds
Capital Project Funds

Objective
The City's objective is to accurately monitor and forecast expenditures and revenues, thus enabling the City to invest idle funds to the fullest extent possible. Idle cash management and investment transactions are the responsibility of the Finance Division of the Administrative Services Department. The City shall attempt to obtain a market rate of return, provided that criteria for safety and liquidity are adequately met, and that all provisions of this investment policy are strictly adhered to.
Investment Principles
The City of San Ramon operates its temporary pooled idle cash investments under the "prudent investor standard ". This standard states: When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the agency, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the agency. Within the limitations of this section and considering individual investments as part of an overall strategy, investments may be acquired as authorized by law.
Consistent with this principle, the following basic tenets shall serve to guide the City's investment program:
Safety — The first priority for the investment program shall be the safety of principal investment. Procedures for ensuring safety of principal shall involve compliance with legal requirements set forth under sections of the Government Code, development and maintenance of adequate records and controls, and avoidance of market speculation through an underlying "buy and hold" investment strategy.
Liquidity — The second priority for the investment program shall be to provide adequate cash for operations or capital purposes on an as-needed basis. Procedures for ensuring adequate liquidity shall include maintenance of pro forma City cash needs through analysis of historical and projected future cash flows, and matching investment maturities to cash requirements.
Yield —The City's investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of attaining a market rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into consideration the investment risk constraints and liquidity needs. Yield on the City's investment portfolio is of secondary importance compared to the safety and liquidity objectives described above.
Investments are limited to relatively low-risk securities in anticipation of earning a market rate of return relative to the risk being assumed. Nevertheless, investment performance shall be periodically monitored and evaluated by the Administrative Services Director by comparison with other benchmark yields.
5.3.a
Packet Pg. 73
Attachment: Proposed Statement of Investment Policy 2025 (2024-081 : Statement of Investment Policy) 3 of 14
Delegation of Authority
The City of San Ramon Municipal Code assigns treasury responsibilities to the Administrative Services Director who serves as the City Treasurer. The Administrative Services Director currently performs the duties of the Director of Finance. The authority to invest City Funds rests with the Administrative Services Director and his designated staff, herein referred to as the Deputy Treasurer. The Administrative Services Director has further authority, with consent of the City Council to delegate investment portfolio management to Meeder Public Funds, an Investment Advisory firm. No person may engage in an investment transaction except as provided for under the terms of this policy.
The Administrative Services Director shall be responsible for all transactions undertaken and will establish a system of controls to regulate the activities of subordinate officials.
Ethics and Conflicts of Interest
Officers, Councilmembers, and employees involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activity that conflicts with proper execution of the investment program, or impairs their ability to make impartial investment decisions. Employees, Councilmembers and investment officials shall disclose any material financial interests that could be related to the performance of the City's investment portfolio.
GASB 31
The Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 31 requires that governmental entities report all investments with a maturity in excess of one-year at fair market value in the balance sheet or other statement of financial condition as of the end of the annual reporting cycle. Market value increases/declines are recognized by booking the variation against earnings at year-end. This book gain/loss would be realized by way of an increase/reduction in reserves, increasing/reducing funds available for appropriation.
Because longer-term investments are subject to greater fluctuations in price and market value, specific constraints in the form of percentage limitations have been incorporated into this policy. These limitations minimize material gains/losses in the value of the portfolio in a declining/rising interest rate environment and mitigate the risks inherent in GASB Statement 31.

5.3.a
Packet Pg. 77
Attachment: Proposed Statement of Investment Policy 2025 (2024-081 : Statement of Investment Policy) 7 of 14
For medium term corporate notes and negotiable certificates of deposit, issuers must possess an acceptable long-term senior debt rating by at least two of the nationally recognized ratings services, i.e. Moody's, S&P's, and Fitch, as detailed below:
1. For maturities of four years or less, a minimum rating of A2 by Moody's, A by S&P, or A by Fitch.
2. For maturities of four to five years, a minimum rating of Aa3 by Moody's, AA- by S&P, or AA- by Fitch.
In the event an issuer is downgraded to below A2 (Moody's) or A (S&P or Fitch), an analysis will be prepared of the exposure to the City and a recommendation will be made regarding holding the security or a possible sale.
Market Risk
Market risk shall be addressed by diversification of security types and distribution. Percentage limitations and maturity restrictions will comply with the State of California Government Code.
Maturity distribution, particularly as impacted by changes in the yield curve will be frequently monitored by staff. Market risk will further be mitigated by limiting the portion of the portfolio investments with maturities in excess of one-year to 70%. The weighted average maturity of the portfolio shall not exceed 2.5 years. The amount of maturities required in excess of one- year and the weighted average maturity of the portfolio shall be considered at time of purchase. In the event the City’s maturity requirements fall out of compliance due to cash outflows, an analysis of the portfolio will be performed to determine if the portfolio’s maturity requirements will return naturally with time or if bonds need to be sold prior to maturity.
Diversification by Investment Type and Issuer
Percentage limitations by investment type are outlined in Section 53600 of the Government Code.
As described above the City will further diversify the portfolio by issuer, with the exception of Treasury securities, which will have no percentage limitations. The City shall seek to preserve principal by mitigating credit risk by diversifying the investment portfolio so that the failure of any one issuer or backer will not place an undue financial burden on the City. Listed below are sector and issuer limitations:

Sale of Securities
The City does not make investments for the purpose of trading or speculation, but buys with the prevalent intent to hold securities to maturity. The prohibition of speculative investment precludes pursuit of profit through unusual risk or conjectural fluctuations in market prices.
However, fluctuations in market rates or changes in credit quality may produce situations where securities may be sold at a nominal loss in order to mitigate further erosion of principal. Securities shall generally be held until maturity with the following exceptions:
• A security with declining credit may be sold early to minimize loss of principal. • A security swap would improve the quality, yield, or target duration in the portfolio. • Liquidity needs of the portfolio require that the security be sold.

Brokers/Dealers

All brokers/dealers with whom business is transacted shall be subject to regulation by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The investment advisor annually conducts a review of all broker/dealers, including their adherence to the Securities and Exchange Commission Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1).
Safekeeping and Custody
The assets of the City shall be secured through third-party custody and safekeeping procedures.
Bearer instruments shall be held only through third-party institutions. Collateralized securities such as repurchase agreements shall be purchased using the delivery versus payment procedures.
Reporting Requirements
Pursuant to Government Code §53646, the Administrative Services Director shall render a quarterly investment report to the City Manager and City Council showing the type of investment, issuer, purchase date, purchase price, date of maturity, amount of deposit, coupon rate of interest, investment yield, and, for investments with a maturity exceeding 12 months, current market value, and source of market valuation. The quarterly report shall state its relationship to the adopted investment policy and shall provide assurance that the investment portfolio provides sufficient cash flow to meet the cash requirements for the following six months. The investment report shall be submitted within 30 days following the end of the quarter. Additionally, pursuant to Government Code §53607, a monthly transaction report shall be presented to the City Manager and City Council.
Performance Standards
The City portfolio is managed with the objective of obtaining a market rate of return, commensurate with identified risk constraints and cash flow characteristics. The appropriate benchmarks will be periodically reviewed by the City Council Finance Committee.
Allocation of Interest
Interest from the City's pooled investments is allocated proportionately to the City's various funds in the month it is received.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: June 25, 2024
TO: City Council/City Manager
FROM: Kathi Heimann, Parks & Community Services Director By: Mae Mlyniec, Administrative Analyst
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 2024-072 - Authorizing the Mayor to Execute a OneYear Revenue Sharing Agreement for Tennis Instruction with Akshay Arora (Dba Arora Tennis) with Projected Payments Not to Exceed $362,230
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends adoption of this Resolution, authorizing the Mayor to execute a one-year revenue sharing agreement for Tennis Instruction with Akshay Arora (dba Arora Tennis) with projected payments not to exceed $362,230.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The City began offering tennis classes with instructor, Akshay Arora (dba Arora Tennis), in 2017. The program has been very successful and continues to generate high rates of participation. Based on the positive track record and evaluations from participants, the Parks and Community Services Department wishes to continue to contract with Arora Tennis for the 2024- 25 year.
Resolution 2024-051 (Fee Resolution) authorizes the Parks and Community Services Department to charge fees for participation in classes, programs, activities, and events based on:
● Comparable fees in other cities, recreation districts, and colleges ● Session length and length of class time per meeting
● Revenue sharing agreements with contracted instructors ● The cost to the City for providing such services
● City Council direction on recovered costs
● Discounts offered as incentives to increase program participation, facility rentals, and revenues
● An available scholarship program to address the needs of residents who may not be able to afford programs
● The value and benefit of such services to the San Ramon Community Fees are collected for the classes and split with the contractors on a percentage basis. Currently, the revenue split is 60% Arora Tennis, 40% City. At the April 23, 2024 City Budget Workshop, all City departments presented proposed cuts to decrease the FY2024-25 budget shortfall. Parks
5.5 Packet Pg. 90
and Community Services was tasked with identifying 10% of potential departmental budget cuts.
One of these cuts was to modify the revenue split of both tennis instructors, which was approved by the City Council. The instructor has agreed to restructure their classes and reduce their revenue split over time, reaching a 50% split by Spring 2025 quarter.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
Due to the continuing growth of these programs, the annual contracted payments are expected to exceed the $100,000 annual limit for City Manager authorization and therefore, require approval of the City Council on an annual basis. The FY 2024/25 Parks and Community Services Department’s budget continues to exclude expenditures related to instructor contract services due to the accounting methodology, which only shows net revenue for the instructor contract services in the budget. All instructor contract payments will be paid from the corresponding revenue account. Should the instructors’ projected earnings exceed the forecasted amount, revenues collected serve to offset such increased earnings.
STEPS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
Staff will prepare an annual contract for this instructor per the established Purchasing and Procurement Policy.

SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 2024-074 - Authorizing the City Manager to Sign Exhibit C – Lease Supplement No. 12 to the San Ramon Library Lease Agreement Between the City of San Ramon and Contra Costa County for the Operation of the San Ramon Library and Approve the Amount of $128,347 for July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve this Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute Exhibit C - Lease Supplement No. 12 to the San Ramon Library Lease Agreement between the City of San Ramon and Contra Costa County for the Operation of the San Ramon Library and approve the amount of $128,347 for July 1, 2024 - June 30, 2025.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The City of San Ramon and Contra Costa County Library entered into the first Library Use and Maintenance Agreement in October 1989 commensurate with the opening of the San Ramon Library at 100 Montgomery Street. The original agreement was amended in March 1994 and added additional terms relative to the City’s contribution to expanded hours of service. A new 99-year term was established for the agreement from March 1994 to March 2093.
In August 2005, a new Lease Agreement, with the same terms as the presiding agreements, was executed, with the City responsible for maintenance and repair of the City-owned library building, and the County responsible for utilities, refuse collection, and reimbursement to the City for janitorial costs. The term of the new lease agreement was through December 2087 in keeping with the original 99-year agreement.
On January 25, 2011, the current Lease Agreement replaced the 2005 Lease Agreement and was approved by City Council with Resolution 2011-013. Under the current lease agreement, the City is responsible for maintenance and repair of the building, utilities, refuse collection, and janitorial costs of approximately $351,844 annually. The City is also responsible for the reimbursement for additional hours of staffing above the baseline of 40 hours each week currently funded by the County. The County updated the number of “Base Hours” to 40 hours of service to the community on July 1, 2021 (Lease supplement No. 9).
5.7 Packet Pg. 96
The initial term of the agreement was effective from January 25, 2011, to June 30, 2011, with automatic renewals yearly unless written notice is given by either party of their intent to terminate at least one year in advance.
Exhibit C of the San Ramon Library Lease Agreement has been amended annually to reflect the schedule of costs for FY 12/13, 13/14, 14/15, 15/16, 17/18, 18/19, 19/20, 20/21, 21/22, 22/23, and 23/24. There was no amendment in FY 16/17 due to the renovation of the San Ramon Library.
The City will continue to be responsible for the annual facility and maintenance costs, as well as to cover the cost of the six “Extra Hours,” bringing the total “Actual Hours” of services at the San Ramon Library to 46 hours. In addition, in 2023 the County began billing the City annually for technology equipment replacement which is included in the annual agreement but had not been charged by the County until 2023. The anticipated cost for the technology equipment replacement for 2024/25 is $20,548.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
The City’s obligation, including the six additional hours, is $107,789, and the technology equipment replacement cost is $20,548 for a total of $128,347 for the period of July 1, 2024 - June 30, 2025. Funding for 2024/25 Library services is included in the Parks and Community Services Department proposed 2024-25 Operating Budget. Future fiscal impacts to the City are not known at this time and will be considered annually via the City and County budget process.
This exhibit is for one year only.
STEPS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
Staff will work with the Contra Costa County Library administration to finalize Exhibit C - Lease Supplement No. 12 for execution by the City Manager for San Ramon Library Services.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve this Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute Exhibit A - Lease Supplement No. 5 to the Dougherty Station Library Lease and Service Agreement between the City of San Ramon and Contra Costa County for the Operation of the Dougherty Station Library and approve an amount of $76,407.00 for July 1, 2024 - June 30, 2025.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The City of San Ramon, Contra Costa County, and Contra Costa Community College District entered into the first Dougherty Station Library Memorandum of Understanding in June 2007 and set forth the responsibilities of the parties in the administration, funding, and continuing development of the Dougherty Station Library. The MOU has been amended annually to reflect the schedule of costs for every year. The Contra Costa Community College paid annually a portion of the personnel costs, including one half-time Library Specialist, to increase hours of operation from the 35 baseline hours provided by the County to 50 hours a week, at a cost not to exceed $100,000. The City-funded any additional hours at DSL that exceed the $100,000 being contributed by the community college. The City also covers the cost of facility maintenance and utilities in the amount of approximately $206,746 annually.
The Community College District officially gave notice to the County and the City that they would no longer be participating in the agreement as of January 1, 2021. The Community College District built a separate library facility on campus to meet the needs of the students, faculty, and the Community.
On May 11, 2021, the San Ramon City Council approved Resolution No. 2021-065, authorizing the City Manager to enter into a new agreement with Contra Costa County for the operations of the Dougherty Station Library. The new agreement uses the same template both parties agreed to
5.8 Packet Pg. 101
for the operation of the San Ramon Library with some modifications to address the differences between the two libraries. This is the same agreement the County uses for other agencies they partner with for Library Services within the region.
In 2021, the County modified the “Base Hours” to 40 hours of service to the community. This was an increase of five additional hours of services. The City will continue to be responsible for the annual facility and maintenance costs and to cover the cost for the six “Extra Hours” bringing the total “Actual Hours” of services at the Dougherty Station Library to 46 hours. In addition, in 2023 the County began billing the City annually for technology equipment replacement, which is included in the annual agreement but had not been charged by the County until 2023. The anticipated cost for the technology equipment replacement for 2024/25 is $13,413.
Annual modification for each renewal term will continue to be handled through the Lease Supplement. The Lease Supplement will set forth the number of “Base Hours” the County will provide in the upcoming fiscal year, the number of “Extra Hours” of library services the City would like to provide, resulting in the number of “Actual Hours” and the cost of the City’s obligation.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
The City’s obligation for the six additional hours is $62,994 and the technology equipment replacement cost is $13,413 for a total of $76,407 for the period of July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025. Funding for the Dougherty Station Library Services is included in the Parks and Community Services Department proposed 2024-25 Operating Budget.

SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 2024-076 - Authorizing the Mayor to Execute Amendment No. 3 to the Agreement (C2021-048) with RydeTrans for Senior Citizens’ Transportation Services, Authorizing a Time Extension to June 30, 2025, and Authorizing Additional Funds of $16,789 for a Cumulative Four Year Total Not to Exceed $197,469
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt this resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute Amendment No. 3 to the Agreement (C2021-048) with RydeTrans for Senior Citizens’ Transportation Services, authorizing a time extension to June 30, 2025, and authorizing additional funds of $16,789 for a cumulative four-year total not to exceed $197,469.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The City of San Ramon’s senior citizen transportation program began in the early 1990s, when the County Connection reduced its service route throughout the City, and the Senior Advisory Committee and staff became aware of many senior citizens who could no longer drive their vehicles and therefore were unable to access programs and services provided at the Center. In 2014, the City received grant funding of $130,000 for one 7-passenger van and one 16-passenger van from the Federal Transit Administration Section 5310 Elderly and Disabled Specialized Grant Program. During this time, the City utilized volunteer drivers; however, staffing issues arose and led to cancelled service. Staff recommended that the City contract these transportation services to ensure the highest quality services for residents and provide better consistency than could be accomplished with volunteers.
In November 2013, the Senior Advisory Committee presented its annual report to the Parks & Community Services Commission and the City Council, stating their concerns regarding the lack of volunteer drivers for the Senior Express Van program. At that time, the committee submitted two annual goals to help improve the program 1) work with staff on recruiting volunteer drivers, and 2) research local transportation needs of San Ramon Seniors and provide input to the Transportation Advisory Committee.
The 2014/15 approved Operating Budget included a Major Action Plan to improve reliability of the Senior Express Van program through utilizing contract or employee drivers to maximize use

of vans and avoid cancellation of the programs. After exploring the two options, the Department staff recommended that a contract service would be more reliable than employee drivers. The approach also limited the City’s liability in that the drivers are not city employees or volunteers, and the training and technical abilities of the drivers would be enhanced by using a professional transportation contractor. In September 2014, the City commenced service utilizing contract drivers to perform the duties for the Senior Express Van program.
On January 25, 2021, the City advertised the Request for Qualifications (RFQ) on the City website, and notified twelve (12) firms in the transportation business that the City would be accepting statements of qualifications to provide senior citizen transportation services. On February 19, 2021, a Pre-Submittal meeting was held via Zoom with four firms attending.
The City received statements of qualifications from the following four qualified vendors by the due date of February 25, 2021:
1. A-Para Transit Corp. (Name changed to RydeTrans)
2. Black Tie Transportation
3. MV Transportation, Inc.
4. Michael’s Transportation Services, Inc.
A selection panel consisting of City staff (Recreation Supervisor at the Alcosta Senior and Community Center, Program Manager of Senior Services, and the City of San Ramon’s Transportation Division Manager) rated each statement of qualification. Each vendor was rated on the following criteria:
1. General Qualifications
2. Relevant Experience
3. Proposed Staffing
4. Pricing
5. Proposed Approach
6. References
7. Interview (if requested)
Following the first round of review, the two highest scoring vendors, RydeTrans and MV Transportation, Inc., were selected to participate in an interview with City staff. While both vendors demonstrated the capability to meet or exceed the requirements of the Parks and Community Services Department, the team found that RydeTrans presented the best overall service exhibiting the ability to perform the required responsibilities in a superior format as compared to the other respondents. RydeTrans scored highest overall in all categories previously mentioned. Most notably, RydeTrans will provide tablets for each passenger van and software that will determine trip routes, provide electronic route manifests and routes, and allow City staff to track the vehicles while in service. RydeTrans will provide training to City staff on how to utilize the software. Additionally, RydeTrans has demonstrated an extensive driver training process for new staff, including enhanced safety training from the Transit & Paratransit Company (TAPTCO). All RydeTrans drivers will continually receive regular trainings from the corporation.

The term for Amendment No. 3 would conclude on June 30, 2025.
FISCAL ANALYSIS

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: June 25, 2024
TO: City Council/City Manager
FROM: Denton Carlson, Police Chief
By: Leysy Pelayo, Lieutenant
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 2024-077 - Authorizing the Mayor to Execute the Master Services and Purchasing Agreement with Flock Safety and Authorizing a Statement of Work for the Equipment, Software, Licensing, and Installation, for an Amount Not to Exceed $851,500
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On April 28, 2020, City Council authorized the Mayor to Execute Agreements with Lehr Auto Electric, Flock Safety, and Edgeworth Integration, LLC, to install fixed Automated License Plate Readers (ALPR) and situational awareness cameras (Sitcams) in San Ramon (RESOLUTION NO. 2020-034), in an amount not to exceed $1,277,027.
The contract with Flock Safety has lapsed (Contract #C2020-013). However, the technology has been implemented and is currently in place in San Ramon. For these reasons, the San Ramon Police Department requests authorization to enter into a new agreement with Flock Safety for the duration of five years. The expiration of the contract would expire tentatively on 6/30/2029.
In July 2023, the San Ramon Police Department applied for $5,616,613 in funding through the Organized Retail Theft Prevention Grant Program administered by the California Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC). The City Council acknowledged and authorized this grant funding application during the City Council meeting held on July 25, 2023 (RESOLUTION NO. 2023-083).
In September 2023, the San Ramon Police Department was awarded $5,616,613 in funding by the BSCC under the Organized Retail Theft Prevention Grant Program. The funds authorized through this grant will be available to the San Ramon Police Department through the 2026/27 fiscal year.
Included in the San Ramon Police Department’s Organized Retail Theft Prevention grant application was ten (10) additional Flock fixed Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) cameras and the annual cost of licensing fee for the existing (45) and additional cameras for the duration of three years. This agreement with Flock Safety is being requested to fulfill the requirements needed for the implementation of the new cameras and the licensing fees of existing and new Flock ALPR cameras to facilitate the application of the previously mentioned programs associated with the Organized Retail Theft Prevention Grant Program. In order to
5.10 Packet Pg. 111
maintain the annual pricing for the next five years, the San Ramon Police Department requests to enter into a five-year contract with Flock Safety for the existing and new cameras. The additional funds required for the Flock Safety project is $700,000 for the existing cameras and $151,500 for the 10 additional cameras for a total amount not to exceed $851,500.
The new Flock Safety ALPR cameras will be strategically positioned near major retail centers to enhance coverage in high-profile areas. Placing the additional cameras at ingress and egress points of major retail centers will provide the best investigative information in the event of organized retail theft. It will allow investigators to pinpoint involved vehicles more quickly and efficiently, resulting in the apprehension of suspects.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends approval of this Resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute an agreement with Flock Safety for continued service of existing cameras and addition to the Comprehensive Street Camera Installation Project (CIP 400002), in an amount of $851,500.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
In April of 2020, the San Ramon City Council authorized the implementation of a citywide camera plan to help maintain a safe and secure environment for the San Ramon Community. The Flock ALPR cameras capture license plate images, compare them with databases, and notify law enforcement of vehicles of interest. They do not involve facial recognition software and focus solely on vehicles, license plates, and vehicle characteristics.
Since the implementation of the Sitcams and Flock ALPR cameras, the San Ramon Police Department has found the cameras to be instrumental in preventing crimes and developing investigative leads after criminal acts had been reported, including organized retail theft crimes.
Camera technology has enhanced property and quality of life preservation within the City.
In September 2023, the Police Department obtained funding through the Organized Retail Theft Prevention Grant Program administered by the State of California Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC). Included in this grant funding were allocations dedicated to the enhancement of our current city-wide camera plan.
The implementation of additional Flock ALPR cameras and situational cameras will better assist officers and detectives with the ability locate and prevent organized retail theft crimes in progress and those that have occurred.
The annual reoccurring cost for the new and existing cameras and use for the Flock Safety Advance Search is $ 170,000. There is a one-time implementation fee for the new cameras of $1,500. The total cost to enhance and continue the current camera program for five years is $851,500.
To fund the necessary equipment, installation, and licensing fees to the new contract with Flock Safety is in an amount not to exceed $851,500. Of the total amount of the cost, $375,500 will be
5.10 Packet Pg. 112
reimbursed through the Organized Retail Theft Prevention Grant Program administered by the State of California Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC).
FISCAL ANALYSIS
The expenditure related to the implementation and licensing of the cameras is not expected to exceed $851,500. Based on the Organized Retail Theft Prevention Grant awarded to the San Ramon Police Department by the State of California Board of State and Community Corrections, funds are available within the grant to cover a portion of these additional expenditures. Of the $851,500 amount, $370,500 will be reimbursed through funding from the Organized Retail Theft Prevention Grant Program administered by the California Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC). Over the next five years, the remaining cost will be $481,000.
The BSCC approved $3,000 per camera per year for the 10 additional cameras, plus $6,500 for implementation fees, for a total of $96,500. The implementation cost is $1,500, leaving an additional $5,000. The BSCC allows for the grant to be amended regarding how the funding is used, as long as it is used for the approved products or services. The grant program approved $93,000 per year for three years for the 45 existing cameras, totaling $279,000. The grant will be amended to allocate the remaining $5,000 from the additional cameras funding toward the cost of the existing cameras, increasing the funding to $284,000.
The projected breakdown of the cost over the five years for the existing and additional cameras is as follows:
Existing Cameras (45)
Fiscal Year Cost ORT Grant Reimbursement Remaining Amount 24/25 $140,000 $93,000 $47,000
25/26 $140,000 $93,000 $47,000
26/27 $140,000 $93,000 $47,000
27/28 $140,000 N/A $140,000
28/29 $140,000 N/A $140,000
Total $700,000 $284,000 421,000
Additional Cameras (10)
Fiscal Year Cost ORT Grant Reimbursement Remaining Amount 24/25 $31,500 $31,500 $0
25/26 $30,000 $30,000 $0
26/27 $30,000 $30,000 $0
27/28 $30,000 N/A $30,000
28/29 $30,000 N/A $30,000
Total $151,500 $91,500 $60,000
An ongoing analysis of the efficacy of this program will continue throughout the grant period authorizing the expenditures. If the analysis shows these programs are beneficial to the City of San Ramon and the San Ramon Community, and there is a desire to continue these programs beyond the grand funding period, the annual expenditures related to Services for the services provided by Flock Safety is not anticipated to exceed $170,000 per fiscal year.
5.10 Packet Pg. 113
STEPS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
The City Attorney’s Office will forward the contract agreement to Flock Safety for execution.
Upon receipt of the executed amendment, staff will obtain approval for the appropriate requisitions for payment to fulfill the contract requirements and begin the installation of this additional equipment.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: June 25, 2024
TO: City Council/City Manager
FROM: Brian Bornstein, Public Works Director
By: Suzy Edwards, Associate Engineer
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 2024-078 - Authorizing the Mayor to Execute an Agreement with McKim Corporation for Construction of the Pavement Management 2024 and Pavement Management 2025 Projects (CIP 000013 and CIP 000015) in an Amount Not to Exceed $1,990,000
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Pavement Management 2024 and 2025 Projects (CIP 000013 and CIP 000015) are part of the City of San Ramon’s annual Pavement Management Program. On May 15, 2024, the City advertised the Pavement Management 2024 Project (CIP 000013, referred to herein as “PMP 2024”). To maximize efficiency, the contract, as advertised, also includes some work from the project list associated with the Pavement Management 2025 Project (CIP 000015, referred to herein as “PMP 2025”). The PMP 2024 work primarily consists of hot mix asphalt concrete treatments for various streets but also includes minor repairs to streets in preparation for future work as part of Pavement Management 2025. The PMP 2025 work included in this contract includes localized digouts and pavement restoration. The City received six (6) bids and opened the bids on June 12, 2024. The responsive and responsible low bidder for this Project is McKim Corporation, with a base bid price of $1,729,788.70, which is below the Engineer’s Estimate by 19%. Staff requests authorization for a construction contract amount of $1,729,788.70, plus an approximate fifteen percent (15%) contingency to cover the base bid and any unforeseen conditions, for a total contract amount not to exceed $1,990,000.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends approval of this Resolution, authorizing the Mayor to execute an Agreement with McKim Corporation for construction of the Pavement Management 2024 (CIP 000013), which includes a portion of the Pavement Management 2025 project list (CIP 000015), in an amount not to exceed $1,990,000.
BACKGROUND
The Pavement Management Program (PMP) was developed as part of a Citywide Program to provide street maintenance on an annual basis. By performing this maintenance frequently and systematically, the City minimizes long-term maintenance costs associated with complete reconstruction of failed pavement and maintains a higher quality throughout the life of the
5.11 Packet Pg. 127
pavement. The scope of work for the Annual Pavement Management Program is based on certain factors that include roadway condition and age; repairs and preventative maintenance; and a geographic grouping of roadways.
PMP 2024 is the first of a two-year plan that will be followed by PMP 2025. Staff structured PMP 2024 and PMP 2025 in a way that would minimize costs and increase efficiency and flexibility by:
• Preparing the plans, specifications, and engineer’s estimates (PS&E) of these projects inhouse. o This reduces the design costs and increases flexibility by quickly swapping streets between years if or when the need arises, at no extra cost. • Contracting directly with specialized contractors for items such as ADA curb ramp upgrades and miscellaneous concrete repairs.
o This direct contracting not only has saved 10% to 15% in mark-ups that pavement contractors add to any work their subcontractors perform, but also has allowed this work to be completed weeks or months prior to the start of the pavement projects. This work ahead of the pavement activities has also reduced the duration, complexity, and uncertainty associated with pavement projects making the bid process more attractive for contractors.
• Separating projects (PMP 2024 and PMP 2025) by type of contractor’s specialty. o The PMP 2024 Project primarily focuses on low PCI streets and streets that require a contractor who specializes in hot mix asphalt concrete pavement treatments, such as mill and fills, and/or localized digout repairs. The PMP 2025 Project primarily focuses on streets that require a contractor who specializes in slurry seal, microsurfacing, and rubberized cape seal, which also requires limited hot mix asphalt repairs that will be done in conjunction with PMP 2024.
The Pavement Management 2024 Project (CIP 000013) includes mill and fill treatments at Alderwood Lane, Bancroft Place, Belle Meade Drive between Alcosta Boulevard and Broadmoor Drive, Blackthorn Court, Braeburn Court, Broadmoor Court, Dexter Place, Hardwick Place, Heather Ridge Court, Holbrook Place, Knollcrest Court, Montevideo Court, Oak Valley Drive between Dougherty Road and Summer View Drive, Pine Valley Court, Pine Valley Road between Thunderbird Drive and Broadmoor Drive, Sedgefield Court, Shireoaks Court, and Sunnyside Place.
The contract also includes localized digouts in preparation for the Pavement Management 2025 Project (to be funded by CIP 000015), which includes slurry seal and rubberized cape seal pavement treatments at different neighborhoods and selected streets including the following:
Vista San Ramon, Summer View Drive, Stoney Creek Drive north of Bent Creek Drive, Bridle Court, Old Ranch Estates Drive, Regency Court, Ridgepoint Court, Royal Coach Court, Cantas
5.11 Packet Pg. 128
Place, Ensenada Drive, Loreto Drive, Madrid Place, Roma Place, Santa Rosa Avenue, Seville Place, Pine Valley Road from Alcosta Boulevard to Thunderbird Drive, Enfield Street, Tahiti Drive, Jamaica Drive, Suva Court, Windemere Parkway from Rockhampton Road to Bollinger Canyon Road, and Windemere Parkway from Bollinger Canyon Road to East Branch Parkway.
Pavement striping and markings are included for all streets mentioned above, as are sharrows at Pine Valley Road between Broadmoor Drive and Thunderbird Drive, and Belle Meade Drive between Alcosta Boulevard and Broadmoor Drive.
Work Performed Under Other Contracts
ADA Curb Ramps and Miscellaneous Concrete
Curb ramp upgrades to meet the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), curb and gutter repairs, valley gutter, sidewalk, and drain inlet repairs are being performed under a separate contract as part of the Pavement Management 2024 Project (CIP 000013) and Pavement Management 2025 Project (CIP 000015). Under this separate contract, the City’s contractor, Sposeto Engineering, Inc., is upgrading approximately 84 curb ramps to current ADA standards within the limits of the Projects.
CEQA Compliance
After an initial environmental review of the Projects, staff filed Notices of Exemption for the Pavement Management 2024 Project (CIP 000013), and Pavement Management 2025 Project (CIP 000015) with the Contra Costa County Clerk on March 27, 2024 and June 7, 2024, respectively. Pursuant to Section 15301(c) of Article 19, “Categorical Exemptions” of Chapter 3, “Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act” of Division 6, “Resources Agency” of Title 14, “Natural Resources” of California Code of Regulations, the Project is exempt from the provision of CEQA.
DISCUSSION
On May 15, 2024, the City advertised the Pavement Management 2024 Project (CIP 000013 and CIP 000015). The Notice to Contractors was posted at City Hall and on the City’s website. The City received six (6) bids and opened the bids on June 12, 2024. The bidders’ names, their rankings, and bid amounts are as follows:
Rank Contractor Total Base Bid
1. McKim Corporation $1,729,788.70
2. Radius Earthwork, Inc. $1,878,235.35
3. O’Grady Paving, Inc. $2,032,185.00
4. Ghilotti Bros., Inc. $2,137,515.00
5. Consolidated Engineering, Inc. $2,203,125.70
6. JV Lucas Paving, Inc. $2,448,480.00
5.11 Packet Pg. 129
Upon review of the bid results, staff determined that McKim Corporation was the lowest responsible bidder based on the Total Bid as set forth in the bid documents. The low bid amount of $1,729,788.70 is lower than the Engineer’s Estimate of $2,134,373 by $404,584.30, or approximately 19%.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
The FY 2023/24 Capital Budget appropriated a total of $3,025,800 for the design and construction of the Pavement Management 2024 (CIP 000013), which is funded by Gas Tax in the amount of $1,875,804 and Refuse Vehicle Impact Fee in the amount of $1,149,996.
The Proposed FY 2024/25 Capital Budget authorizes an appropriation of $5,000,000 for the design and construction of Pavement Management 2025 (CIP 000015), which will be funded by Gas Tax in the amount of $3,250,004 and Refuse Vehicle Impact Fee in the amount of $1,749,996.
The construction contract amount being requested is $1,729,788.70 plus an approximate fifteen percent (15%) contingency to cover Base Bid and any unforeseen conditions, for a total contract amount not to exceed $1,990,000.
Approximately $420,000 of the total construction cost will be funded by PMP 2025 (CIP 000015) for localized base repairs, as preparation work and cost-effectiveness, at all streets included in CIP 000015, with the remainder of the project to be funded by PMP 2025 (CIP 000013).
There are sufficient funds in the Pavement Management 2024 Project (CIP 000013) and Pavement Management 2025 Project (CIP 000015) to complete this contract work.
STEPS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
The City Attorney’s Office will forward the contract Agreement to McKim Corporation for execution. Upon receipt of the executed contract agreement, the required bonds, certificate of insurance, and a copy of a current City business license from the contractor, the City Attorney’s Office will send a copy of the executed contract Agreement and all attachments to the Public Works - Engineering Services Division. A Notice to Proceed will then be issued to begin construction and staff will then pursue the work to completion.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: June 25, 2024
TO: City Council/City Manager
FROM: Scott Koll, Deputy City Manager
By: Candace Daniels, Finance Division Manager
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 2024-079 - Establishing the Annual Gann Appropriations Limit for the Community Facilities District (CFD) No. 2014- 1 for Fiscal Year 2024-25
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution establishing the annual Gann appropriations limit for Community Facilities District (CFD) No. 2014-1 for Fiscal Year 2024/25.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
In 2014, the City of San Ramon formed Community Facilities District No. 2014-1, pursuant to the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982. The purpose of the CFD is to finance public infrastructure and services to support development within the districts. At the time, the CFD was comprised of Acre, the original subdivision, in Tax Zone 1. The CFD has since grown to include five additional developments across three different tax zones, including The Preserve (formerly Faria Preserve), Annexation No.1 in Tax Zone 2; Promenade, Annexation No. 2 in Tax Zone 3; 500 Deerwood, Annexation No. 3 in Tax Zone 1; Aspenwood, Annexation No. 4 in Tax Zone 1; and 2481 Deerwood, Annexation No. 5 also in Tax Zone 1.
Article XIII B of the California Constitution, commonly known as the Gann Limit, places a limit on the amount of revenue that can be appropriated by state and local governments each fiscal year. Government Code Section 7910 requires each local government entity, including community facilities districts, to establish its appropriations limit for each fiscal year. The limit is determined based on the previous year's limit, adjusted for changes in the cost of living and population. Each year, the State Department of Finance (DOF) transmits an estimate of the percentage change in population of local governments (Revenue and Taxation Code, Section 2227) and produces an estimate of the statewide growth in personal income.
For Fiscal Year 2024/25, the appropriations limit for CFD No. 2014-1 has been calculated in accordance with the guidelines provided by the California Department of Finance. The adjustment factors include the California per capita personal income change and the population change within the City of San Ramon.
5.12 Packet Pg. 133
For Fiscal Year 2024/25, the proposed appropriations limit for CFD No. 2014-1 is $17,775,728.97. This limit ensures the CFD complies with constitutional and statutory requirements and remains within the bounds of allowable appropriations.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with the adoption of this resolution. Establishing the appropriations limit is a compliance measure required by State law.
STEPS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
• The Gann Appropriations Limit will be published on the City's website annually and made available for public consumption.
• The CFD will monitor its budget annually to ensure that budgeted amounts do not exceed its Appropriations Limit.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: June 25, 2024
TO: City Council/City Manager
FROM: Scott Koll, Deputy City Manager
By: Candace Daniels, Finance Division Manager
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 2024-080 - Adopting the Fiscal Year 2024/25 Operating and Capital Budget, Establishing an Appropriations Limit, and Authorizing Carryover Project Appropriations
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends approval of this Resolution adopting the Fiscal Year 2024/25 Operating and Capital Budget, establishing an appropriations limit as required by Article XIIIB of the State Constitution for Fiscal Year 2024/25, and authorizing the carryover of unspent capital project appropriations into Fiscal Year 2024/25.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
Annually the City adopts an Operating and Capital budget, which establishes expenditure authorization for the City. The process of developing the budget for Fiscal Year 2024/25 began in December 2023 when staff developed budget guidelines and a budget calendar with the objective of delivering an on-time budget proposal to the City Council by June 2024. As part of the budget review process, three public City Council budget workshops were held. At the April 23, 2024 budget workshop, staff presented to the Council a status update on the development of the Fiscal Year 2024/25 Budget and requested Council to approve budget cuts and budget restoration items. At the May 28, 2024 budget workshop, staff presented the preliminary draft (“Proposed”) Fiscal Year 2024/25 Budget and Capital Improvement Project Budget and informed the Council that the reserve level was at 30% instead of 36%. Another budget workshop was scheduled for June 4, 2024 to discuss options to increase the reserve balance by $3.5 million, which would meet the reserve requirement of 36%.
City Budget - All Funds
The Fiscal Year 2024/25 Proposed Budget for all City funds and programs totals $131.0 million in expenditures. The budget is comprised of an Operating Budget of $96.8 million, Special Revenue Funds Non-Operating Budget of $0.4 million, Debt Service Funds Budget of $5.2 million, a Capital Budget of $11.0 million, Internal Service Funds Budget of $17.7 million, and a Geological Hazard Abatement Districts Budget of $1.3 million (included in the Operating Budget). Resources funding the Fiscal Year 2024/25 Proposed Budget include $140.0 million in new revenue along with funds accumulated in prior years to cover the $131.0 million in
8.1 Packet Pg. 140
expenditures.
Operating Budget
City operating funds include the General Fund, Dougherty Valley Fund, 20 separate lighting and landscaping special district funds, the Stormwater Fund, Dougherty Valley Geological Hazard Abatement District, Northwest San Ramon Geological Hazard Abatement District, and other Special Revenue Funds.
The total Proposed Operating Budget for Fiscal Year 2024/25 is $96.8 million in expenditures.
Anticipated revenue collection available to finance City operating budgets is $101.7 million.
Surplus revenue in each fund category will remain as fund reserves for future uses.
General Fund
The General Fund is the City’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the City, except those required to be accounted for in another fund (e.g. the Dougherty Valley County Service Area funds). The Fiscal Year 2024/25 expenditure budget for the General Fund is $63.3 million. Revenue available to finance General Fund services is $66.2 million.
Special Revenue Funds
These funds account for the proceeds of specific revenue resources that are legally restricted or earmarked toward a specific function, activity, or program area. · Operating - Funding for expenditures in these funds typically comes from special fees or assessments collected annually to pay for a specific program or service, and notably includes the Dougherty Valley County Service Area funds. The total Fiscal Year 2024/25 expenditure budget is $24.5 million. Revenue available to finance expenditures is $24.5 million. Surplus revenue in each fund category will remain as fund reserves for future uses.
· Non-Operating - These funds are typically designed to finance projects and activities in the City’s Capital Improvement Program. The total Fiscal Year 2024/25 expenditure budget is $0.4 million. Revenue available to finance expenditures is $12.4 million.
Surplus revenue in each fund category will remain as fund reserves for future uses.
Housing Successor Fund
The Housing Fund is used to account for revenue received to create, preserve, and improve housing in the City of San Ramon. There are no expenditures in the Housing Fund for Fiscal Year 2024/25. Revenue available to finance expenditures is $3.8 million. Surplus revenue will remain as fund reserves for future uses.
Debt Service Funds
8.1 Packet Pg. 141
Debt Service Funds account for the accumulation of resources for payment of principal and interest on the City’s general long-term debt obligations. The total Fiscal Year 2024/25 expenditure budget is $5.2 million. Transfers in from the General Fund and department internal service charges provide funding to cover expenditures.
Capital Projects Fund
The Capital Projects section of the budget contains a summarized version of the Five-Year Capital Improvement Program (5-Year CIP). The 5-Year CIP document is prepared separately. It is a comprehensive five-year plan of the City to identify needed capital projects and to coordinate the financing and timing of improvements that maximize the return on investment for the public. The first year of the 5-Year CIP is called the “Capital Budget.” The Capital Budget is incorporated into the Annual Budget, which appropriates funds for specific improvements. The total Fiscal Year 2024/25 expenditure budget is $11.0 million. Revenue collection of $0.7 million, $10.5 million of net transfers from special revenue sources, and approximately $20.0 million of beginning fund reserves are available to finance expenditures. Specific project details can be found within the 5-Year CIP document.
Internal Service Funds
Internal Service Funds account for the financing of goods and services provided by one City department or agency to other departments or agencies of the City, or to other governmental units on a cost reimbursement basis. The total Fiscal Year 2024/25 expenditure budget is $17.7 million. Revenue available to finance expenditures is $18.2 million. Funds accumulated in prior years provide additional funding to cover expenditures.
Appropriations Limit
In addition to adopting an annual budget, Article XIIIB of the State Constitution requires the City to establish an annual appropriations limit. The computation for this limit is attached as Exhibit 2.
The established appropriations limit for the City is $102,160,237. The City budget is under the appropriations limit by $64,200,786.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
The City is projected to have $22.3 million of General Reserves at the beginning of Fiscal Year 2024/25. The Fiscal Year 2024/25 Proposed Budget includes an increase to reserves of $0.4 million of General Reserves, leaving a projected reserve balance at the end of Fiscal Year 2024/25 of $22.7 million. This is sufficient to satisfy the 36% contingency reserve policy of $22.7 million.
This Resolution will establish expenditure authority for all City activities totaling $131,002,124 for Fiscal Year 2024/25. This Resolution will also establish the State required appropriations limit and authorize the carryover of unspent Fiscal Year 2023/24 capital improvement appropriations into Fiscal Year 2024/25.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: June 25, 2024
TO: City Council/City Manager
FROM: Scott Koll, Deputy City Manager
By: Scott Koll, Deputy City Manager
SUBJECT: Sales Tax Revenue Measure Field Poll Presentation
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Receive a report outlining polling results and provide direction to staff on whether to return to council with a sales tax ballot measure proposal and at what rate: ½, ¾, or 1 cent.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The City faces a $17.6 million structural short fall in its Fiscal Year 2024-2025 budget whereby ongoing expenditures outpace current ongoing revenues. In recent budget development presentations to Council, the five year forecast showed a widening gap that reaches $52.3 million in Fiscal Year 2028-2029 if no further action is taken and $109.9 million if all unfunded capital improvement projects are included.
In light of these financial challenges, the City navigated the difficult but necessary steps to cut the initial budget proposal to balance the city’s current expenditure profile with its current revenues. The City accomplished this exercise by asking each department to assess a 5%, 10%, and 15% operational reduction. Department directors outlined in detail for Council what these cuts meant to their respective service areas and to San Ramon residents. At its May 28th and June 4th meetings, the City Council provided clarifying direction to staff on which cuts to incorporate. Further, the Council authorized staff to access one-time funding from Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB) reserves. The City acknowledged these strategies were a shortterm solution to the current budget imbalance. Finance staff will present a revised balanced budget inclusive of these proposed service reductions for Council consideration and adoption prior to the required deadline of June 30, 2024.
City Council and staff proactively addressed this challenge by proposing reductions to personnel and service delivery alongside exploring revenue enhancements. The City Council approved a comprehensive fee study to analyze the current fee schedule and rate of recovery compared to actual program costs. That effort began in early 2023 and culminated in the City Council adopting a revised fee schedule aimed at improving the rate of General Fund subsidy to balance program costs with the impact to those who pay program fees.
In March 2023, Council directed staff to conduct public opinion polling that sought input from
9.1 Packet Pg. 149
residents on community priorities and to explore the feasibility of a local revenue measure. The City engaged with EMC Research to conduct these polls. The first of two polls EMC Research conducted assessed community priorities and helped staff to evaluate appropriate revenue enhancement options. The City learned from the poll that the community prioritized public safety, streets and roads, and its 58 parks/open space. Staff evaluated the results of the poll in terms of revenue options, coupling them with actual City revenue data, to determine that a sales tax measure would be the most appropriate option for maintaining the City’s current service levels and quality of life. A transient occupancy tax (often referred to as a “hotel tax”), if the current rate were doubled to 14%, would generate $4 million in total-a net increase of $2 million.
That amount would not be sufficient to address the City’s current deficit. Staff also evaluated sales tax, which is the second largest revenue generator for the City. The City’s sales tax consultant provided an analysis that showed the following:
1. ½ cent sales tax increase potentially generates $7.8 million;
2. ¾ cent sales tax potentially generates $11.7 million; and
3. 1 cent sales tax increase would potentially generate $15.6 million in additional revenue In May 2024, EMC Research conducted a second poll in May 2024. The purpose of tonight’s presentation is to report out the results of that polling effort. In summary, the results of the recent poll remained relatively consistent with the results from a year prior:
1. Respondents believe that things are generally going in the right direction (72%)
2. Most serious problems: #1) Crime/Safety; #2) Growth/Development, and #3) Traffic/Congestion
3. Performance rating of local government is positive (68% total positive responses)
4. Half cent approval rating: 55%
5. One cent approval rating: 59%
Lastly, the EMC Research team polled residents on community priorities. The City learned the top 5 priorities in rank order were as follows:
1. Providing police services: 84%
2. Maintaining streets and roads: 84%
3. Maintaining public parks: 76%
4. Traffic enforcement and road safety: 73%
5. Improving streets and roads: 68%
FISCAL ANALYSIS

STEPS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
Staff will return to City Council on July 9th, 2024 with a sales tax measure ballot packet if Council provides staff with that direction.
